Matters of Life and Death
Since urn shopping isn’t something families do everyday, there’s the education process. What size do I need?
Usually, the average cremation displacement for an adult ranges 130-180 cubic inches. Most ashes for an adult will fit in a 200 cubic inch capacity urn.
Families that are shopping for an adult urn, might be enticed by website pricing of $39.99. Check the size! Is it a keepsake? Is that the size you need?
More questions? We’re here.
When the family can’t agree on a urn style for the deceased, sometimes the simplest choice is the Classic Bronze cremation urn. Ancient design and clean lines of this funeral urn never goes out of style. These metal urns are available in three sizes, a full-size adult, a smaller sharing, youth or pet urn, and a 3″ keepsake size. What’s a keepsake urn, and why would you one? Some families might be sprinkling or want to keep a small amount or the ashes, a lock of hair or dried flowers.
The Classic urn is brass with a brushed bronze or pewter finish and secure threaded lid. The adult size measures 10″ high, and weighs a solid 7 pounds.
